Smith & Nephew have made a number of improvements to the existing PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT) technology, to further enhance performance and optimise wound healing. Released in 2018, PICO 7 is Smith & Nephew's most advanced wound therapy device.
Examples of appropriate wound types include:
Use uninterrupted for up to 7 days, potentially saving time and money by optimising dressing changes
Twice as effective at dealing with air leaks, compared to the previous version of PICO sNPWT4
Can be used in hard-to-seal or awkward places
Improved patient experience with a more efficient, quieter pump and integrated belt clip for full portability
A new ‘dressing full’ change indicator, designed to help optimise dressing change frequency, including an integrated ‘start date’ note area.
AIRLOCK™ Technology distributes pressure evenly for optimal comfort and performance
